Introduction:
There was a time when India was discussed as the land of snake charmers, black magic and epidemics but the revolutionary Indian growth story changed everything. Indian economy at its height compelled the world to change its viewpoint towards India. Out of the several factors which changed the face of modern India, we are going to discuss the most roaring of them i.e. our share market. The earlier reform procedures adopted by India gave India the two most sought after world-class brands i.e. SENSEX and NIFTY.

We saw the investors getting overjoyed at 21K and we saw them crying too when it crashed. We saw how the market rewarded the undervalued shares and how the overvalued shares fell down to demonstrate the saying “everything which rise more than expected, has to fall.”
So to analyze the saga of Indian share market, we had two indices to follow: BSE sensex and NSE nifty. Though NSE nifty is a more advanced option and has left BSE sensex far behind, still we call BSE sensex as the barometer of our economy. That’s why we have followed the BSE sensex. It was not possible to track each and everyday figure of the sensex since last two years. The performance of the sensex is analyzed with the help of data and graphs collected from various sources and some of the most talked about movements of sensex starting with the secondary market summary of each year, firstly year 2006 and then year 2007.
